Answer Snippet
Exercise and metabolizing Juvederm?
Juvederm
Mar 5, 2018
So good question. The reality is that your exercise routine shouldn’t affect your filler outcome. If you have bruising/swelling the first few weeks then minimizing extreme physical exertion is good idea but after that, no worries. Some studies suggest that if Botox is given in areas around where filler is given (if appropriate and safe) that it may slow slightly the breakdown of filler.
I had Juvederm Volbella last Thursday to fill lines around my mouth, now they are raised, will this
patience
Mar 2, 2018
I understand your frustration – we all want results immediately as we get so excited to finally get filler. Even though Volbella is a great filler for this area as it is very soft and doesn’t swell as much as other fillers, there is still some swelling that occur in the first few weeks. It doesn’t look like you have significant bruising so it is more likely something that you just need to give time. The other possibility is that the irregularity could be due to movement of the underlying…
I went to a doctor for Radiesse. He didn’t open any syringe in front of me. Can you tell me what col
color of Radiesse
Mar 2, 2018
Radiesse does come in prefilled syringes and is the color white, whereas most other fillers are clear. That is not good or bad, just different.
Botox for masseters – injection techniques and dose?
masseters
Mar 2, 2018
In the dental literature showing Botox was effective in helping with masseter hypertrophy and teeth clenching, most studies looked at 10-20 units per side, but my opinion has always been to start slow, as you can always add more but you can’t take it away until it resolves. In my practice I typically start with 6-8 units per side, but it is very individualized as everyone’s muscle is different in size and shape, and that is where getting it done by an experienced provider is the most…
What are my options to fix uneven eye brows?
uneven eyebrows
Mar 2, 2018
Most people will develop more obvious asymmetry of their face as they age, often due to genetics, side of face they sleep on, or uneven sun exposure (such as through driving window in car). Botox could be very effect if helping to even out the asymmetry but performing an eyebrow lift on the lower side, and possibly relaxing the forehead slightly on the side that is raised, to give a more even result. It would take a good in-person consultation to determine the best course. Wish you luck!
Was my lip filler injected wrong? I’m not sure why my top lip looks the way it does from the side. (
Respone
Feb 27, 2018
It does look like some filler was injected superficially or closer to the inner lip than appropriate. Over extended time it should decrease but if unhappy with it, would return as there is medication that can be injected to dissolve and decrease the fullness.
